Pakistan: Increase in Minimum Wages for EOBI and Provincial Social Security Contributions – 1 July 2026

Article Navigation

Islamabad Capital Territory and Sindh have notified revised minimum wages with effect from 1 July 2026. EOBI and the provincial social security institutions both compute contributions on the minimum wage of the province of employment, so contributions change in those two jurisdictions from the July 2026 pay period, with arrears for July and August 2026. No other province has notified a wage for FY2026-27.

Province / Territory Minimum wage (PKR / month) Enactment status
Islamabad Capital Territory 40,700 Changed – notified 19 Aug 2026, w.e.f. 1 Jul 2026
Sindh 43,000 Changed – notified 17 Aug 2026, w.e.f. 1 Jul 2026
Punjab 40,000 Last known w.e.f. 1 Jul 2025; no FY2026-27 notification
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 40,000 Last known w.e.f. 1 Jul 2025; no FY2026-27 notification
